I coach at George Mason University, as well as at Hunterdon Central Regional Highschool. I'm working on finding a USFA club to coach at as well though. "Sir, didn't I parry"

I coach at First Place Fencing Club currently. As part of my duties there, I also run programs at several local schools (grammar through high) and parks and rec programs held both in house and remotely. I teach about 14 group classes per week in all three lessons, plus some private lessons, mostly epee with a bit of foil and the odd sabre thrown in very rarely. I'd like to do more private lessons, but I'm growing an epee program at the club and it's still in the early stages. Also, the number of classes I run cuts into lesson time, but it also provides a consistent level of income, which is not something I want to mess with.

"At"?! "AT"?!

Shouldn't this be a poll?
And you might want to find out the number of clubs where the members coach. Some coaches give lessons at multiple clubs. Or at a school and a club.

Hi!
Intermediate level (that is, those who have fenced for more than one semester) epee coach at C4 Fencing club, Kristianstad, Sweden. This is a quite small club in a town of 50,000 population. The three closest clubs are all at about 90 minutes driving distance.
Have a nice time!

Yes, I know the joke...
And yes, I DO still have hair, albeit mostly in my ears at this point.  Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!
